Cold it be that we've entered an end of history phase, where those who've been around for a while have read enough threads about enough different oils that we've come full circle and once again recognize that any oil meeting the appropriate specs is as good as any other meeting the same specs?
Even the now mostly impromptu thick versus thin threads lack the vigor they once had.
It used to be that any such thread would run at least ten pages.
Could it be that we've collectively actually learned something from one another?
Shucky-darn! You mean that I might have to look into a political forum for excitement?
Seriously though, I think that the dexos specs slowed down discussion about best oil - the mindset became "if it meets dexos, you're good to go."
And, the oils I use are typically 2 levels above any manufacturer's minimum dexos oil, so I'm comfortable.
